Can Chiropractic help with Allergies?

Chiropractic is a method of healing that involves the natural innate ability of the individual.  In order for the body to function the nervous system has to be 100%.

            The allergies that we have are a natural response of the body’s defense system, better known as the immune response. The first line of defense for the immune   function is the mucus membranes.  Therefore, an allergen such as pollen is kept from going into our body by the mucus and causes a stuffy or runny nose. Obviously, an individual who has an extreme response is hypersensitive and this can be the sign of an imbalanced nerve system.  Through chiropractic adjustments and wellness care we work to balance your nervous system by removing local interference or disturbances in the spine.  With a balanced nerve system the immune response is more appropriate and may help to resolve some of the issuesb regarding allergies and allergic type responses.
